I just purchased one of these for my office. Please can anyone explain how to adjust the lift weight? I can raise the desk with some effort, but it won't stay elevated. And when Iook at the instructions for how to adjust the weight, it addresses the...

Yes! I feel your pain, I kept looking and looking for the place and on the schematic it seems like it was on the part that made it turn from left to right. It is not there, it is actually in between the metal part somewhat hidden and recessed at the highest point of the articulating arm where it connects to the monitor and tray. Think of it this way, if the top/head of the arm was a donut... the adjusting weight screw is in the middle or hole of the "donut". Turning to the right adds tension. Make sure to adjust when you have your final monitors and keyboard as thats the weight you'll be working with me. Message me if you still need help.

I'm 5'8" and find it very comfortable. It's ability to flex/lean may be why it seems to accommodate so many different people. I needed to take a break after the first 3-4 hours using it because I felt tired, but I haven't gone back to the office chair since that first day.I don't know if there is a way to raise or lower it. That's a good question for the seller.

It is a little awkward to keep rolling out of the way. I put a desk over it and there are no handles at the end to do the lifting. I would also have to unplug it to keep moving it, because of where my plug is located. Hope that helps!

approx 18" vertical on mine as I have it adjusted ( I assume you want to see if it will fit in your desk) .... the height will vary with the angle you have the base support set --- (i'm guessing mine is about 15 degrees from absolute vertical .... if the angular base were made even more narrow, it would increase the height, a wider stance would lower it .... ( I see someone else measured a lower height, which I'm sure is valid for the way he has his adjusted)you will see a fair amount of variation depending on how you adjust it, but, as a practical matter, if you have more than 18" vertical clearance, it should work for you approx 18" vertical on mine as I have it adjusted ( I assume you want to see if it will fit in your desk) .... the height will vary with the angle you have the base support set --- (i'm guessing mine is about 15 degrees from absolute vertical .... if the angular base were made even more narrow, it would increase the height, a wider stance would lower it ....

It is critically important to center the lift on the sheet so you don't have a problem with the lift tipping to one side or the other while raising it. put a little piece of blue tape at the exact center of the sheet edge as a guide first. I found it best to have a pair of 2 x 4 blocks about 12" long to screw vertically to the studs as positioning rests on the studs about 6 ft. apart and 48 1/2" down from the ceiling. The blocks should also have a "lip" on the outside top end so the sheets won't slip off. I simply screwed a short block to the top flat side of the 2 x 4. The bottom edge of the drywall needs to contact the stud above the block so you will need to tip the sheet until it does so at a height just above the block. Warning! The "brakes" that comes on this unit are not good enough to hold securely so Do Not depend on them much. It is possible to tip the sheet up towards the ceiling joint (If you hold the lift towards the wall as you tip the sheet as far as it will go while on the lift arms) then off the top of the arms. The two front wheels contact the 2 x4 plate at the bottom before the sheet is vertical so it is not perfect. In my opinion it is best to get someone to help you hold the lift against the wall. It is safer and faster. 12 ft. sheets weigh about 60 lbs. The lift is much better for 4 x 8 sheets and for ceiling work. One last tip - To get the top edge of the sheet up close to the ceiling I wedged a couple tapered shims between the blocks and the sheet AFTER the sheet was on the blocks. Sliding the shims will adjust the sheet until you have a good top joint. As with anything, it may be possible to do this alone. I just wouldn't do it.

If you have the same model, as I did, you have broken the plastic piece, that makes it go up, and down. To get it fixed, was $130:00. You will have to have a professional look at it. I am sorry you are experiencing the same problem. Joannie Mattoon

It depends on the desk and the angle you are setting the stamina Instride at.Truthfully, if your desk has a key board shelf, you will probably have a very close, if not impossible, clearance for the way we use it at our house. If you lowered it to the lowest level, there is a possibility, BUT, the angle will be so shallow that you will probably be pushing the unit more than pedaling it - if you do not have a matt to make sure it does not "run away" from you.

The higher the resistance, the more likely it is to move but movement should be minimized if you use it correctly by pedaling up and down instead of forward. Mine is located under my office desk in a location where it rests against the back side of the desk, so it has no forward movement. I had no issues at all with lifting, twisting, or lateral movement. It is heavy. Some of my coworkers settled for the $30 models. They move around a lot, get really hot, and the resistance cranks do not hold the resistance. You get what you pay for.

Hi T Smith,I have a 21" flat screen that I just lifted in order to answer your question. I think it must be about the same weight as yours. The lift works. You want to make sure all the adjustments are in a locked position before putting the monitor on the lifter stand. I have might adjusted high. the flat tray is 24" off the top of my desk. It rocks a bit when I first put the monitor down but holds it without a problem. I hope this helps.

Not easily. In my experience, the knob has a lot of tension (so it's tiring to raise it or lower it a lot), and it's quite slow to raise and lower the bench. It makes more sense to adjust it before sitting down. It's not like a lot of office chairs, where it's really easy and quick to go up and down.

Its adjustable actually, To tell you the truth I need to measure it myself but I really think that unless your desk is a rare 8 foot high desk I think you should be alright. Ive never had to adjust this to the highest level it would go.

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

I have not experienced this. However, my treadmill deck is high, so the desk is at its lowest setting. It is quite stable.

How tall is your desk? I use this and mine is not tall enough to stand and work because my desk is about 34" tall. If your desk is taller theyou could probably get my with standing.

On the model I purchased the height is not adjustable. I do really like the desk. Very sturdy and stable.

I'm having the same problem & haven't been able to adjust it as yet. Brand new unit. Not happy.

I love the desk and how it looks. However, I'm 5'4" and there is only about 2" between my legs and the bottom of the desk. An office chair, that rolls, is out of the question. I'm using a low chair from an old dinette set. I've been trying to think of a way to raise the desk about 4" without it looking crappy. If the legs were longer the desk would be perfect. Very sturdy.
